2. 11. Biomarkers in chronic and experimental human muscle pain

   Author : Sofia Louca Jounger; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : 5-HT;

   Abstract : The main aim of this thesis was to improve the knowledge ofthe peripheral mechanisms that may participate in the underlying pathophysiology of chronic temporomandibular disorders (TMD) myalgia i.e. pain that is experienced locally in the jaw muscles and has myofascial trigger points.

4. 12. Human experimental pain models : methodological and analgesic studies

   Author : Helène Schulte; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Pain; human volunteers; pain threshold; hyperalgesia; opioids; ketamine;

   Abstract : Pain is an important clinical issue with great impact on society and individuals' well being. It is well established that sensory abnormalities induced by tissue trauma and inflammation are clinically important in various acute and chronic pain conditions. READ MORE

   Abstract : Introduction: Musculoskeletal discomfort in the neck and shoulders is common among workers performing visually demanding near work, e.g., on a computer screen, and sustained low-level muscle activity during such work can lead to work-related pain. READ MORE

7. 15. Pain influences somatosensory perception : an experimental and clinical study

   Author : Ann-Sofie Leffler; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Muscle pain; referred pain; hypoaesthesia; allodynia; musculoskeletal; pain; sensory abnormality; quantitative sensory testing; trapezius myalgia; somatosensory perception; perception thresholds; diffuse noxious inhibitory controls DNIC ; central hyperexcitability; tourniquet test; cold-pressor test.;

   Abstract : The underlying mechanisms maintaining long-term pain localised to musculoskeletal structures and joints are not infrequently unknown. In routine clinical work with such patients insufficient attention has been paid to phenomena indicating altered excitability of the central nervous system (CNS). READ MORE
